Description

Time division duplex TDD communication method, base station and user

This application is submitted to the Chinese Patent Office on June 20, 2011, and the application number is

The priority of the Chinese Patent Application, which is incorporated herein by reference. Technical field

The present invention relates to the field of wireless communications, and in particular, to a time division duplex TDD communication method, a base station, and a user equipment. Background technique

In the Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request (HARQ) technology, the data receiver needs to feed back the response information to the data sender to help confirm whether the data is correctly received. The value of the response message can be ACK (Acknowledgement), NACK.

( Negative-acknowledgement) and DTX (Discontinuous Transmission), where ACK indicates that data is received correctly, NACK indicates data reception error, and DTX indicates that data is not received.

In the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) system, the user equipment passes the physical uplink control channel in the uplink (Uplink) direction. The (Physical Uplink Control Channel, PUCCH) feeds back response information corresponding to the downlink data to the network side device, for example, the base station. In the downlink (downlink) direction, the network side device feeds back the response information corresponding to the uplink data to the user equipment through the physical layer hybrid automatic HARQ indicator channel (PHICH). In the present invention, PUCCH and PHICH for feedback response information are collectively referred to as a response channel.

The 3GPP E-UTRA system is also known as the Long Term Evolution (LTE) system, which supports Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and Time Division Duplex (Time Division). Duplex, TDD). Generally, the LTE system of the TDD system is also referred to as an LTE TDD system. In the LTE TDD system, a typical radio frame length is 10 ms, which includes 10 subframes. Each sub-frame is lms in length and can be configured by the network side device to transmit downlink data or uplink data. The LTE TDD system supports a plurality of different subframe ratios, as shown in Table 1, where D represents a downlink subframe, S represents a special subframe, and U represents an uplink subframe. Special subframes can transmit downlink data information, but cannot transmit uplink data information, and are therefore generally treated as downlink subframes.

Table 1

According to the subframe ratio and the HARQ timing relationship, multiple downlink subframes may be associated with the same uplink subframe to feed back the response information, and multiple uplink subframes may also be associated with the same downlink subframe to feed back the response information. In other words, according to the subframe ratio and the HARQ timing relationship, the following settings can be made: For downlink data transmitted in multiple downlink subframes, feedback information is fed back in the same uplink subframe; The uplink data transmitted by the subframes feeds back their response information in the same downlink subframe. The HARQ timing relationship includes: a timing relationship between the downlink data and the uplink response information corresponding to the feedback, and a timing relationship between the uplink data and the downlink response information corresponding to the feedback.

In the LTE TDD system, when multiple downlink subframes are associated with the same uplink subframe to feedback the response When the information is used, the non-overlapping response channel resources are reserved for each associated downlink subframe in the uplink subframe. When multiple uplink subframes are associated with the same downlink subframe to feed back the response information, the non-overlapping response channel resources are also reserved for each associated uplink subframe in the downlink subframe. The above design is such that when the number of uplink subframes in the system is small relative to the number of downlink subframes, the number of downlink subframes associated with the same uplink subframe is larger, or when the number of downlink subframes in the system is relative to the uplink. When the number of subframes is small, the number of uplink subframes associated with the same downlink subframe is also large, which means that the reserved channel resources reserved by the system are large. For example, for the subframe ratio 2 in Table 1, the response channel resources are reserved for the four associated downlink subframes in each uplink subframe, and the response channel resource overhead is large. Summary of the invention

In order to solve the problem that the prior art reserved response channel resource overhead is large, various aspects of the present invention provide a time division duplex TDD communication method, a base station, and a user equipment.

An aspect of the present invention provides a time division duplex TDD communication method, including: a base station reserving an answer channel resource in a second subframe for each subframe of the first subframe set, where is the first subframe set The acknowledgement channel resources reserved in at least two subframes overlap or partially overlap; the base station and the first user equipment transmit data in the first subframe set.

Another aspect of the present invention provides a time division duplex TDD communication method, including: acquiring, by a user equipment, a response channel resource reserved by a base station for each subframe of the first subframe set in a second subframe, where The response channel resources reserved by at least two subframes in the first subframe set overlap or partially overlap; the user equipment and the base station transmit data in the first subframe set.

A further aspect of the present invention provides a base station, including: a control module, configured to reserve, in a second subframe, an acknowledgement channel resource for each subframe of the first subframe set, where is the first subframe set The response channel resources reserved by the at least two subframes overlap or partially overlap; the communication module is configured to transmit data in the first subframe set with the first user equipment.

A still further aspect of the present invention provides a user equipment, including: a control module, configured to acquire a base The acknowledgment channel resource reserved for the second subframe in each subframe of the first subframe set, where the acknowledgment channel resources reserved for at least two subframes in the first subframe set overlap or partially Overlap; a communication module, configured to transmit data with the base station in the first subframe set.

The technical solution provided by the foregoing aspects is that the acknowledgment channel resources reserved for at least two subframes in the first subframe set overlap or partially overlap, so that when the number of subframes in the first subframe set is large, The response channel resource overhead reserved by the first subframe set is also small.

The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention are clearly and completely described in the following with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. It is a partial embodiment of the invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts are within the scope of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a time division duplex TDD communication method according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the method includes:

Step S11: The base station reserves the response channel resource in the second subframe for each subframe of the first subframe set, where the response channel resources reserved for at least two subframes in the first subframe set overlap or partially overlapping.

In an implementation manner of this embodiment, the base station communicates with the first user equipment according to the first subframe ratio. The first subframe ratio is known to the base station and the first user equipment, and the base station may notify the first user equipment of the first subframe ratio by using a message, or may be the first subframe ratio. A subframe ratio is preset or configured to the base station and the first user equipment. Please refer to Table 2, which is the first subframe ratio exemplified in the implementation. In a radio frame, 10 subframes are sequentially D-S-U-F-F-D-S-U-F-F, where D represents a downlink subframe, S represents a special subframe, U represents an uplink subframe, and F represents a flexible subframe. The special subframe S can transmit downlink data information, but cannot transmit uplink data information, and thus is usually also treated as a downlink subframe. The flexible subframe F can be flexibly used as a uplink transmission or a downlink transmission in real time by a network side device, such as a base station, according to user traffic demand.

D s U U D D S U U D Table 3

According to the first subframe ratio and the HARQ timing relationship, a first subframe set and a second subframe are obtained. The base station and the first user equipment transmit data in the first subframe set, and the response information corresponding to each subframe of the first subframe set is transmitted in the second subframe. The first set of subframes includes more than one subframe. The first subframe set may include an uplink subframe U, a downlink subframe 0, or a downlink subframe D and a special subframe S, or an uplink subframe U and a flexible subframe F, or a downlink subframe D and a flexible subframe F. Or, the downlink subframe D and the special subframe S and the flexible subframe F. When the first subframe set includes an uplink subframe U, or an uplink subframe U and a flexible subframe F, the second subframe is a downlink subframe D, or a special subframe S or a flexible subframe F, and the first subframe The uplink subframe data is reserved in the subframe set, and the downlink subframe resource is reserved in the second subframe; when the first subframe set includes the downlink subframe D, or the downlink subframe D and the special subframe S, or When the downlink subframe D and the flexible subframe F, or the downlink subframe D and the special subframe S, and the flexible subframe F, the second subframe is an uplink subframe U or a flexible subframe F, and the first subframe group is within the first subframe group. The downlink data is transmitted, and the uplink acknowledgement channel resource is reserved in the second subframe.

The following describes the case of feeding back uplink response information to the downlink data, that is, the case where the first subframe set includes the downlink subframe D and/or the special subframe S. In this implementation, preferably, the first subframe set includes subframes F, D, S, and F with subframe index numbers 4, 5, 6, and 8, that is, subframe 4, subframe 5, and subframe. 6 and subframe 8. The second subframe is a subframe U with a subframe index number of 2, that is, subframe 2.

Referring to FIG. 2a, FIG. 2a is a schematic diagram showing a timing relationship between downlink data and feedback corresponding uplink response information in the subframe ratio shown in Table 2. For example, the base station and the first user equipment transmit downlink data in subframe 4, subframe 5, subframe 6, and subframe 8 in the previous radio frame, that is, the base station sends downlink data to the first user equipment; Subframe 2 within one radio frame transmits the previous radio frame The response information corresponding to the subframe 4, the subframe 5, the subframe 6 and the subframe 8 is that the first user equipment sends the response information to the base station. The first set of subframes and the second subframe are known to both the base station and the first user equipment. For the base station, the first subframe set and the second subframe may be pre-configured, or may be generated by the base station according to the first subframe ratio and the HARQ timing relationship. For the first user equipment, the first subframe set and the second subframe may be pre-configured, may be notified by the base station, or may be based on the first subframe ratio and HARQ timing. Relationship generated.

In this implementation manner, the base station reserves the response channel resource in the second subframe for each subframe of the first subframe set according to a predetermined rule. The response channel resource refers to a piece of response channel area containing a plurality of response channels. The base station overlaps or partially overlaps the response channel resources reserved for at least two subframes in the first subframe set. For example, the acknowledgment channel resources reserved for the subframe 8 partially overlap with the acknowledgment channel resources reserved for the subframe 4, the subframe 5, and the subframe 6 subframe, or the acknowledgment channel resources reserved for the subframe 4 and the subframe 6 The acknowledgement channel resources reserved for subframe 5 and subframe 8 are completely overlapping.

As a preferred implementation of the above implementation manner, the first subframe set is composed of a subset portion and a complement portion. The acknowledgment channel resources reserved for the complement portion overlap or partially overlap with the acknowledgment channel resources reserved for the subset portion. When the subset includes more than one subframe, the base station does not overlap the response channel resources reserved for each subframe of the subset. Preferably, the subset part is a set of subframes that reserve a response channel resource in the second subframe according to a second subframe ratio and a HARQ timing relationship. The complement portion is a set consisting of subframes belonging to the first subframe set but not belonging to the subset portion.

In LTE TDD Release 8 and Release 9, a user equipment can only access one component carrier to communicate with the base station. LTE TDD version 10 supports carrier aggregation technology, in which one user equipment can simultaneously access multiple component carriers (Component Carriers) to communicate with the base station. A member carrier is also referred to as a serving cell. When the user equipment accesses more than one component carrier at the same time, one of the component carriers is set as a primary component carrier (Primary Component Carrier), also called a primary cell. Can set different primary members for different user devices Carrier.

When the first user equipment accesses only one component carrier, the first subframe ratio and the second subframe ratio are all notified for the member carrier that is accessed. When the first user equipment accesses more than one component carrier at the same time, the first subframe ratio and the second subframe ratio may be notified by the same component carrier; or may be notified for different component carriers. For example, the primary component carrier is notified of the second subframe ratio, and the at least one non-primary component carrier is notified of the first subframe ratio.

The LTE TDD system is an evolving system. For user equipment that only supports the old version, such as LTE TDD version 8 to version 10, it is not supported to reserve overlapping or partially overlapping response channel resources for different subframes. For the evolved LTE TDD base station, while supporting the user equipment of the new version of the user equipment, such as LTE TDD version 11 or later, it is also necessary to provide services for supporting only the old version of the user equipment. When the first subframe ratio and the second subframe ratio are notified for the same component carrier, the second subframe ratio is a subframe ratio that the old version user equipment can support, for example, as shown in Table 1. The ratio of the second subframe ratio and the HARQ timing relationship according to the second subframe ratio and the HARQ timing relationship refers to the subframe ratio supported by the old version of the user equipment, and the HARQ timing relationship defined for the subframe. Please refer to Table 3, which is a second subframe ratio exemplified in the implementation manner. The second subframe ratio is also known to the base station and the first user equipment, and the base station may notify the first user equipment of the second subframe ratio by using a message, or may be the second The subframe ratio is preset or configured to the base station and the first user equipment. Referring to FIG. 2d, FIG. 2d is a schematic diagram showing the timing relationship between the downlink data defined by the second subframe ratio shown in Table 3 and the uplink response information corresponding to the feedback. The uplink response information corresponding to the downlink data transmission in subframe 5 and subframe 6 is fed back on subframe 2 according to the second subframe ratio and the HARQ timing relationship shown in Fig. 2d.

For example, the subframe ratio shown in Table 2 is still used as the first subframe ratio, and the subset portion may include subframe 5 and subframe 6, and the complement portion may include subframe 4 and subframe 8. The response channel resources reserved for subframe 5 completely overlap or partially overlap with the response channel resources reserved for subframe 4, and the response channel resources reserved for subframe 6 completely overlap with the response channel resources reserved for subframe 8. Or partially overlap. of course, It may also be that the response channel resource reserved for the subframe 5 completely overlaps or partially overlaps with the response channel resource reserved for the subframe 8, and the response channel resource reserved for the subframe 4 and the response channel reserved for the subframe 6 Resources are completely overlapping or partially overlapping. The response channel resources reserved for subframe 5 and subframe 6 do not overlap each other.

The advantages of the above preferred implementation are described below: In general, a base station communicates with a user equipment attached to it in a sub-frame ratio. When the base station communicates with the first subframe ratio exemplified in the foregoing Table 2, if the user equipment is the first user equipment, that is, the user equipment that reserves overlapping or partially overlapping acknowledgment channel resources, the base station and the base station The first user equipment can communicate normally. However, if the user equipment is an old user equipment that does not support overlapping overlapping or partially overlapping response channel resources, such as LTE TDD Release 8 to Release 10 user equipment, the base station cannot be associated with the old version of the user equipment. Normal communication. In the above preferred implementation manner, since the acknowledgment channel resources reserved in each subframe in the subset portion do not overlap each other, the base station can normally communicate with the old version of the user equipment at least in each subframe in the subset portion. For example, the old version of the user equipment communicates with the base station in a second subframe ratio, for example, the subframe ratio shown in Table 3, and the base station still uses the first subframe shown in Table 2. When the ratio is communicated with the old version of the user equipment, the base station can normally communicate with the old version of the user equipment at least in subframe 5 and subframe 6, thus enhancing system compatibility.

In this embodiment, the first subframe set may also be subframe 9, subframe 0, subframe 1 and subframe 3, and the second subframe is subframe 7. Similarly, the subset portion may include subframe 0 and subframe 1, and the complement portion may include subframe 9 and subframe 3. The response channel resource allocated for subframe 9 may be the same as subframe 1, and the response channel resource allocated for subframe 3 may be the same as subframe 0. Alternatively, the response channel resource allocated for subframe 9 may be the same as subframe 0, and the response channel resource allocated for subframe 3 may be the same as subframe 1. The following describes the case of feeding back downlink response information to the uplink data, that is, the case where the first subframe set includes the uplink subframe U and/or the flexible subframe F. In this implementation manner, the first subframe ratio is still used as a table. The subframe ratio shown in 2 is exemplified. Preferably, the first subframe set includes subframe F with subframe index numbers 3 and 4, that is, subframe 3 and subframe 4. The second subframe is a subframe D with a subframe index number of 0, that is, subframe 0. Please refer to FIG. 2b. FIG. 2b is a schematic diagram showing the timing relationship between the uplink data and the downlink response information corresponding to the feedback in the subframe ratio shown in Table 2. For example, the base station and the first user equipment transmit uplink data in subframes 3 and 4 in the previous radio frame, that is, the first user equipment sends uplink data to the base station; and transmits subframe 0 in the next radio frame. The response information corresponding to the subframes 3 and 4 of the previous radio frame, that is, the base station sends the response information to the first user equipment. The base station overlaps or partially overlaps the response channel resources reserved for at least two subframes in the first subframe set. The response channel resource refers to a piece of response channel area, and the area includes a plurality of response channels. For example, the acknowledgment channel resource reserved for the 4th subframe overlaps or partially overlaps with the acknowledgment channel resource reserved for the 3rd subframe.

Referring to Table 4, Table 4 is a first subframe ratio exemplified by another implementation of the embodiment. The first subframe ratio is the subframe ratio 2 in Table 1. In a radio frame, 10 subframes are sequentially D-S-U-D-D-D-S-U-D-D.

Table 4

According to the first subframe ratio and the HARQ timing relationship, a first subframe set and a second subframe are obtained. The following describes the case of feeding back uplink response information to the downlink data, that is, the case where the first subframe set includes the downlink subframe D and/or the special subframe S. Preferably, the first subframe set includes subframes D, D, S, D of subframe index numbers 4, 5, 6, and 8, that is, subframe 4, subframe 5, subframe 6, and subframe 8. The second subframe is a subframe U with a subframe index number of 2, that is, subframe 2. Or the first subframe set includes subframes D, D, S, and D with subframe index numbers of 9, 0, 1, and 3. In this case, the second subframe is a subframe U with a subframe index of 7. . Here we only include the first subframe set including the subframe index number as The subframes of 4, 5, 6, and 8 are used as an example. Other situations are similar.

Referring to FIG. 2c, FIG. 2c is a schematic diagram showing the timing relationship between the downlink data and the uplink response information corresponding to the feedback in the sub-frame ratio shown in Table 4. For example, the base station and the first user equipment transmit downlink data in subframe 4, subframe 5, subframe 6, and subframe 8 in the previous radio frame, that is, the base station sends downlink data to the first user equipment; The subframe 2 in a radio frame transmits the response information corresponding to the subframe 4, the subframe 5, the subframe 6 and the subframe 8 of the previous radio frame, that is, the first user equipment feeds back the response information to the base station.

Preferably, the first subframe set is composed of a subset part and a complement part. The acknowledgment channel resources reserved for the complement portion overlap or partially overlap with the acknowledgment channel resources reserved for the subset portion. When the subset portion contains more than one subframe, the base station reserved for each subframe of the subset portion does not overlap each other. Preferably, the subset part is a set of subframes that are reserved in the second subframe according to the second subframe ratio and the HARQ timing relationship. The complement portion is a set consisting of subframes belonging to the first subframe set but not belonging to the subset portion.

In LTE TDD Release 8 and Release 9, a user equipment can only access one component carrier to communicate with the base station. LTE TDD version 10 supports carrier aggregation technology, in which one user equipment can simultaneously access multiple component carriers (Component Carriers) to communicate with the base station. A member carrier is also referred to as a Serving Cell. When a user equipment accesses more than one member carrier at the same time, one of the component carriers is set as a primary component carrier (Primary Component Carrier), also called a primary cell. Different primary member carriers can be set for different user devices.

When the first user equipment accesses only one component carrier, the first subframe ratio and the second subframe ratio are both notified for the component carrier that is accessed. When the first user equipment accesses more than one component carrier at the same time, the first subframe ratio and the second subframe ratio may be notified by the same component carrier; or may be notified for different component carriers. For example, the primary component carrier is notified of the second subframe ratio, and the at least one non-primary component carrier is notified of the first subframe ratio. The LTE TDD system is an evolving system. For user equipment that only supports the old version of the user equipment, such as LTE TDD Release 8 to Release 10, overlapping or partially overlapping response channel resources are reserved for different subframes. For an evolved LTE TDD base station, while providing services for supporting user equipment of a new version, such as LTE TDD version 11 or later, it is also necessary to provide services for supporting only the old version of the user equipment. When the first subframe ratio and the second subframe ratio are notified for the same component carrier, the second subframe ratio is a subframe ratio that the old version user equipment can support, for example, as shown in Table 1. The ratio of the second subframe ratio and the HARQ timing relationship according to the second subframe ratio and the HARQ timing relationship refers to the subframe ratio supported by the old version of the user equipment, and the HARQ timing relationship defined for the subframe. Please refer to Table 3, which is a second subframe ratio exemplified in the implementation. The second subframe ratio is also known to the base station and the first user equipment, and the base station may notify the first user equipment of the second subframe ratio by using a message, or may be the second The subframe ratio is preset or configured to the base station and the first user equipment. Referring to FIG. 2d, FIG. 2d is a schematic diagram showing the timing relationship between the downlink data defined by the second subframe ratio shown in Table 3 and the uplink response information corresponding to the feedback. According to the second subframe ratio and the HARQ timing relationship shown in FIG. 2d, the uplink response information corresponding to the downlink data transmission in the subframe 5 and the subframe 6 is fed back on the subframe 2.

For example, the first subframe ratio is the subframe ratio shown in Table 4. The subset portion may include subframe 5 and subframe 6, and the complement portion may include subframe 4 and subframe 8. The response channel resources reserved for subframe 5 completely overlap or partially overlap with the response channel resources reserved for subframe 4, and the response channel resources reserved for subframe 6 completely overlap with the response channel resources reserved for subframe 8. Or partially overlap. Of course, it is also possible that the response channel resource reserved for the subframe 5 completely overlaps or partially overlaps with the response channel resource reserved for the subframe 8, and the response channel resource reserved for the subframe 4 is reserved for the subframe 6. The response channel resources are completely overlapping or partially overlapping. The acknowledgement channel resources reserved for subframe 5 and subframe 6 do not overlap each other.

The advantage that the acknowledgment channel resources reserved by the base station for each subframe of the subset is not overlapped is: when the user equipment of the old version, for example, the LTE TDD version 8 to version 10 user equipment does not support reservation When overlapping or partially overlapping response channel resources, the old version of the user equipment can be communicated with the base station in a subframe ratio such as shown in Table 3, and the base station still has the first subframe as shown in Table 4, for example. Compared with the old version of the user equipment, the base station can communicate with the old version of the user equipment at least in subframe 5 and subframe 6, which enhances system compatibility.

2a to 2d are only suitable for the first subframe ratio and HARQ timing correlation relationship settings of the embodiments of the present invention. Step S12: The base station performs data transmission with the first user equipment in the first subframe set, and performs transmission of response information corresponding to data transmission in the second subframe.

In an implementation manner of this embodiment, the base station performs data transmission with the first user equipment in the first subframe set, and performs a response corresponding to the first subframe aggregate data transmission in the second subframe. Transmission of information.

In the foregoing preferred implementation manner of this embodiment, when the base station does not overlap the response channel resources reserved for each subframe of the subset, the base station may also be in the subset with the old version of the user equipment. The data is partially transmitted, and the response information corresponding to the subset portion is transmitted in the second subframe.

When the scheme of this embodiment is not used, for example, according to the subframe ratio shown in Table 4, it is necessary to reserve mutually overlapping response channel resources in subframe 2 for 4 downlink subframes. It can be seen that with the solution of this embodiment, the response channel resources reserved in subframe 2 can be reduced by half. Taking 20 MHz LTE TDD as an example, the acknowledgment channel resource reserved for each downlink subframe is composed of 88 acknowledgment channels. When a non-overlapping response channel resource is to be reserved for four downlink subframes in one uplink subframe, a total of 352 response channels are reserved, which is equivalent to 19.56% of the system bandwidth resource in the short cyclic prefix subframe structure. . When one uplink subframe is reserved for two downlink subframes with non-overlapping response channel resources, only 176 acknowledgement channels need to be reserved, which is equivalent to 9.78% of system bandwidth resources in the short cyclic prefix subframe structure. It can be seen that after adopting the solution of this embodiment, the response channel resource overhead can be significantly reduced. And the saved 9.78% system bandwidth resources can be used for uplink data transmission, effectively improving the user's uplink communication experience. Referring to FIG. 3, FIG. 3 is a flowchart of a time division duplex TDD communication method according to another embodiment of the present invention, where the method includes:

Step S31: The user equipment acquires a response channel resource reserved by the base station for each subframe of the first subframe set in the second subframe, where the response is reserved for at least two subframes in the first subframe set. Channel resources overlap or partially overlap.

In an implementation manner of this embodiment, the predetermined rule used by the base station to reserve the response channel resource for each subframe of the first subframe set is also known to the user equipment, for example, the rule may be pre- Set to the user device. Therefore, if the user equipment obtains the starting position or the ending position of the base station for reserving the answer channel resource for the first subframe set, according to the rule, the base station may be calculated as each subframe of the first subframe set. The answer channel resource reserved in the second subframe. The user equipment may receive an offset value N _CH sent by the base station by using a broadcast message, where the offset value indicates that the base station reserves a start position or a termination position of the response channel resource for the first subframe set.

The method in this embodiment is basically the same as the method in the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 4, and the difference is that Before step S41, the method further includes:

Step S40a: The base station acquires a first subframe ratio and a second subframe ratio.

The first subframe ratio and the second subframe ratio may be pre-stored in the base station, obtained by reading by the base station, or may be configured by the other network device to the base station. For example, the first subframe ratio may be a subframe ratio shown in Table 2, and the second subframe ratio may be a subframe ratio shown in Table 3. For another example, the first subframe ratio may be a subframe ratio shown in Table 4, and the second subframe ratio may be a subframe ratio shown in Table 3.

Step S40b: The base station notifies the first user equipment of the first subframe ratio and the second subframe ratio, and notifies the second user equipment of the second subframe ratio. It should be noted that the first user equipment is a device that supports overlapping or partially overlapping response channel resources, and the second user equipment is a device that does not support overlapping or partially overlapping response channel resources.

When the first subframe ratio and the second subframe ratio are notified for the same component carrier, for example, when the first user equipment and the second user equipment only access the same one component carrier, the base station uniformly follows the A subframe ratio is communicated with the first and second user devices. The first user equipment communicates with the base station according to the first subframe ratio, and the second user equipment communicates with the base station according to the second subframe ratio.

In an implementation manner of this embodiment, the first subframe ratio and the second subframe ratio respectively include an uplink subframe, a downlink subframe, and a special subframe, and the uplink subframe in the first subframe ratio The number of frames is less than the number of uplink subframes in the second subframe ratio.

For example, the first subframe ratio is the subframe ratio shown in Table 2, and the second subframe ratio is the subframe ratio shown in Table 3.

Step S40c: The base station obtains the first subframe set and the second subframe according to the first subframe ratio, and obtains according to the first subframe ratio and the second subframe ratio. Subset part and complement part.

As described in detail above, the base station can obtain the first subframe set and the second subframe according to the first subframe ratio and the HARQ timing relationship. In addition, the base station may further obtain a subset portion and a complement portion of the first subframe set by using the first subframe ratio and the second subframe ratio.

The first subframe ratio is the subframe ratio shown in Table 2, and the second subframe ratio is the subframe ratio shown in Table 3 as an example. Referring to FIG. 2a, according to the timing relationship shown in FIG. 2a, it may be determined that when the first subframe set includes subframe 4, subframe 5, subframe 6, and subframe 8, the second subframe is subframe 2. Under the first subframe ratio, for the data transmitted by the subframe 4, the subframe 5, the subframe 6 and the subframe 8, the corresponding response information is fed back in the subframe 2. Referring to FIG. 2d, FIG. 2d is a schematic diagram showing the timing relationship between the downlink data and the uplink response information corresponding to the feedback in the subframe ratio shown in Table 3. Under the second subframe ratio, for the data transmitted by the subframes 5, 6, the corresponding response information will be fed back in the subframe 2. Then, according to the first subframe ratio and the second subframe ratio, the subset portion includes a subframe that is fed back by the subframe 2 in the first subframe ratio and a subframe that is fed back in the second subframe ratio. The portion between the intersections, that is, the subset portion includes a subframe 5 and a subframe 6, the complement portion including the subframe 4 and the subframe 8.

When the access is greater than one component carrier at the same time, the first user equipment feeds back the uplink response information corresponding to the downlink data transmission of all the accessed component carriers on the primary component carrier. When the first subframe ratio is notified to the primary component carrier and the second subframe ratio is notified for the at least one non-primary component carrier, the response channel resource reserved for the complement portion and the response reserved for the subset portion The channel resources overlap or partially overlap, and the response channel resources that need to be reserved on the primary component carrier can also be reduced.

Step S40d: The first user equipment obtains the foregoing according to the received first subframe ratio. The first subframe set and the second subframe obtain the subset part and the complement part according to the received first subframe ratio and the second subframe ratio.

The implementation of step S40d is similar to that of step S40c, and details are not described herein again. Referring to FIG. 6, FIG. 6 is a flowchart of a time division duplex TDD communication method according to another embodiment of the present invention. The method in this embodiment is basically the same as the method in the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 4, except that the steps are S41 specifically includes steps S411 and S412, and step S42 specifically includes steps S421 and S422.

Frame 6, the complement portion may include subframe 4 and subframe 8. The base station may use the subframe 4 and the subframe 8 in the complement part as the third subframe, where the third subframe is a subframe in which the mapping label overlaps with other subframes. For example, the base station may allocate the same mapping label m=0 for the subframe 4 and the subframe 5, and assign the same mapping label m=l for the subframe 6 and the subframe 8. The base station may also assign the same mapping label _m =l to the subframe 4 and the subframe 6, and assign the same mapping label m=0 to the subframe 5 and the subframe 8.

Taking the first subframe ratio as an example of the subframe ratio shown in Table 4, the first subframe set includes subframe 4, subframe 5, subframe 6 and subframe 8, and the subset portion may include a subframe. 5 and subframe 6, the complement portion Subframe 4 and subframe 8 may be included. The base station may use the subframe 4 and the subframe 8 in the complement portion as the third subframe. That is, the base station may assign the mapping label m=0 to the subframe 5 and the subframe 4, and assign the same mapping label m=l to the subframe 6 and the subframe 8. The base station 4 may also assign the same mapping label m=l to the subframe 4 and the subframe 6, and assign the same mapping label m=0 to the subframe 5 and the subframe 8.

It should be noted that for different subframe ratios, the mapping label corresponding to each subframe in the first subframe set may be pre-stored in the base station.

Step S412: The base station reserves, in the second subframe, an acknowledgement channel resource for each subframe of the first subframe set according to the mapping label, where the response reserved for the subframe with the same mapping label Channel resources overlap or partially overlap.

Step S421: The first user equipment acquires, for example, a mapping label of each subframe of the first subframe set, where the user equipment can be pre-configured for each subframe of the first subframe set. Mapping the label, or the user equipment may receive the mapping label that is sent by the base station to be allocated to at least one subframe in the first subframe set, or the user equipment may read the first subframe. The subset of the set is a pre-configured map label and receives a map label assigned by the base station for the complement portion of the first subframe set.

Step S422: The first user equipment acquires, according to the mapping label, a response channel resource reserved for the second subframe in each subframe of the first subframe.

According to the foregoing, the first user equipment may receive, by using a broadcast message, an offset value N _CH sent by the base station, where the offset value N _CCH indicates a starting position of the base station to reserve the response channel resource for the first subframe set. Or terminate the location. Then, the first user equipment according to the mapping label and the offset value

N« _CCH , the acknowledgment channel resources reserved by the base station are obtained, and the acknowledgment channel resources acquired by the subframes with the same mapping label overlap or partially overlap. Please refer to FIG. 7. FIG. 7 is a time division duplex TDD communication according to still another embodiment of the present invention. The method of the method is basically the same as the method of the embodiment corresponding to FIG. 6, except that step S430 is further included before step S43, and steps S44 and S45 are further included after step S43. Specifically, the method in this embodiment includes:

Steps S41 ~ S42 are not described again.

Step S430: The base station passes the physical downlink control channel in the first subframe set.

(Physical Uplink Control Channel, PDCCH), the ACK Resource Indicator (ARI) information is sent to the first user equipment, where the response resource indication information is used to indicate that the third subframe is in generating an acknowledgement channel resource index. The offset n _{ARI that} needs to be added.

In an implementation of this embodiment, the response channel resource index is an index of a response channel specifically allocated by the base station and the first user equipment to transmit response information in the second subframe. The acknowledgment channel specifically allocated for each subframe may be allocated from the acknowledgment channel resources reserved for the subframe. The base station and the first user equipment need to calculate the response channel index in the same manner.

For the subframes other than the third subframe in the first subframe set, there are different mapping labels m. When the control channel element (CCE) resource index occupied by the PDCCH in each subframe in the first subframe set is n _CCE , the response channel resource index is n^ _CCH , then the process of allocating the response channel is: first Select a p value from {0, 1 , 2, 3 } such that N _p ≤ n _CCE < N _p+1 ; then pass the formula (1): n _CCH = (M - m_l) x N _p + mx N _p+1 + n _CCE + N^ _CCH can calculate the obtained response channel resource index, where

For the downlink system bandwidth, N^ _{CCH is} the starting or ending position of the base station to reserve the response channel resource for the first subframe set.

Since the mapping label of the third subframe is the same as the mapping label of one subframe in the subset portion, if the subframe with the mapping label is repeated, if the mapping channel resource index is still calculated according to the above formula (1), the allocated response channel resource index is obtained. When the PDCCHs occupy the same CCE resources in the two subframes, the same response channel resource index result may be obtained, and the inter-subframe response channel resources may occur. Source conflict. Therefore, in order to avoid the response channel resource conflict, an offset n _ARI needs to be added to the third subframe, and then the equation (2) n^ _CCH = (M - m - l) x N _p + mx N _{p+1 is used.} + n _CCE + n + N^ The _CCH calculation obtains the response channel resource index of the third subframe.

Since the first user equipment also needs to calculate the response channel index, the base station needs to notify the first user equipment of the offset amount. In an implementation manner of this embodiment, the base station, in the first subframe set, includes a Transmission Power Control (TPC) field and a downlink allocation indication in the control information sent by the PDCCH to the first user equipment. (Downlink Assignment Index, DAI) field. The DAI field is used to accumulate the number of transmitted PDCCHs in the first subframe set according to the order of the subframes. The DAI field consists of two bits, which can be 1 2 3 or 4. Wherein, for the control information sent in the multiple subframes with the same mapping label, when the value of the DAI field is equal to 1, the TPC field is set to transmit power control; when the value of the DAI field is greater than 1, the TPC field Set to answer resource indication.

For example, referring to FIG. 2a, if the mapping label m of the subframe 4, the subframe 5, the subframe 6 and the subframe 8 is 0, the subframe 6 from the subframe 5, the subframe 7, the subframe 8 The value of the DAI field is greater than 1, and the TPC field is set to the response resource indication information, and the response resource indication information is used to indicate the offset n _ARI

Step S43 will not be described again.

Step S44: The base station generates an acknowledgement channel resource index according to the mapping label, the CCE index occupied by the PDCCH, and the response resource indication information.

It should be noted that the base station needs to determine the CCE index occupied by the PDCCH before performing step S430, and then send the response resource indication information to the first user equipment on the determined CCE index. Therefore, after the base station determines the CCE index occupied by the PDCCH, the step S44 can be performed. Therefore, step S44 can be performed in parallel with step S430 and/or step S43.

The process of generating an acknowledgment channel resource index for the base station is described in detail in the description of step S430, and the reference is hereby incorporated by reference. Step S45: The first user equipment generates an acknowledgement channel resource index according to the mapping label, the CCE index occupied by the PDCCH, and the response resource indication information.

It should be noted that the first user equipment may detect the CCE index occupied by the PDCCH when receiving the control information sent by the PDCCH, and generate an acknowledgement channel resource index according to the CCE index occupied by the PDCCH. Therefore, step S45 can be performed after step S430, and of course, step S45 can also be performed in parallel with step S43.

The process of generating the response channel resource index for the first user equipment is described in detail in the description of step S430, and the reference is hereby incorporated by reference.
